Pilates Retreat Mauimaui, hawaii

Who We Are

We created Pilates Retreat Maui because of my fascination with The Pilates Method and my husbands passion and background in the culinary arts, and working together as stewards of a beautiful oceanfront property on Maui we feel that the very best part of being here is sharing it with others.

We have many years of experience in culinary, hospitality, health, wellness and Pilates— as well as backgrounds in Hawaiian environment, history and culture. Add vacation rental management to the list and voila! We offer travelers and Pilates lovers a unique, local Hawaiian experience including exploration, adventure and fine dining under the stars.

A Strong Sense of Place

My name is Arlene, I'm the owner of Bodywork & Pilates, the studio at Charley Young Beach. It's a funky old beach house or a beautiful palace depending on how you look at it. It's a place with incredible soul and history of Aloha and hospitality, the walls speak loudly of who and what was here generations before. It belongs to my husband Derrick's family, his late grandparents were Charley & Betty Young of whom the beach is named after, Derrick and I are living in the beach house and the front lanai has been renovated into a sunny, Gratz equipped Pilates studio that looks out onto a spacious green lawn with coconut palms and a sandy beach.

The Pilates Studio

?????

Simple. Unassuming. The antithesis of a resort, hotel or condo and situated in a mixed demographic neighborhood, the place has a rustic personality and a lot of "Old Hawaii" charm, as many of our previous guests can attest,

my dream is to continue to preserve the house as a gathering place, as it always has been and make it a learning environment, a chance to retreat, connect with like minds, enjoy the spectacular oceanfront location (and the rest of the jawdropping beauty of this island),

there is something really special about this place, it’s not your typical condo. To stay here is to have a very authentic, local experience.

From A Local Point Of View

We offer two beautiful vacation rentals upstairs on the 2nd floor above the Pilates studio, they are fully separate units with their own full kitchen, bath and private entrance in back of the building.

We created Collective Retreats because we love travel and believe in its power to help us connect—to places, to people, and to ourselves.

But most traditional hotels are simply places to sleep. We’re changing that, with an innovative approach to travel that unlocks the true potential of places.

We’re here to guide and inspire

…Whether that means pointing you toward

a secret sunrise spot, arranging a cooking lesson with our chef, or sending you off on a horseback riding adventure.

Long before smart phones and guide books, right up until the time of hobos, old world travelers used a system of personal symbols to communicate with each other and connect. We took inspiration from these adventurers to develop the Collective Retreats brand mark, which is derived from the symbol for shelter. In addition, each of our retreats has its own unique badge with marks within representing its standout features. And like the travelers of the old world, each of our team members and guests is invited to create their own personal Traveler’s Mark (like the one above)—a mark that uniquely represents you and travels with you along your own journey—learn more about Traveler’s Marks and our community of adventurers.

We create retreats in extraordinary destinations across the country—and eventually, the world. From Montana to Colorado, each has its own spirit and personality, and we know you’ll love getting to know them all. We’re also constantly adding locations, which means the adventure is just beginning.

Collective Retreats is an experiential travel company. We partner with landowners of all sizes to build unique luxury travel accommodations with minimal impact to your property.
